Silky Kitchen Scissors

While these shears are excellent for general food prep like trimming herbs or opening packaging, they are not designed for heavy-duty butchery. They will handle poultry skin and connective tissue easily, but you should avoid using them on thick bones to maintain the blade's edge.

While the materials are durable, we recommend hand-washing your shears with warm, soapy water and drying them immediately. Dishwashers can dull the blades over time and expose the pivot point to harsh detergents that may cause rust.

These shears feature a fixed-pivot design for stability and consistent tension. While they do not separate into two pieces, the simple, open design allows you to easily wipe down the blades and the pivot area to keep them sanitary.

Yes, the ergonomic handle design is symmetrical, making them comfortable and functional for both left- and right-handed cooks.

To keep your shears performing at their best, avoid cutting non-food items like wire, plastic zip ties, or cardboard, which can quickly dull the edge. If you notice a decline in cutting performance, a standard kitchen shear sharpener or a professional honing service will restore their precision.
